Zhong Qing (Cherish) - Chap 48
The night on the Blue Sea was deep and enchanting. Moschery lit the artificial fire and spread the knitted blanket on the ice.
Qin Yun saw a fish with wings and a ‘lightbulb’-like thing hanging on its forehead. It flew in the air and dived into the sea.
“Firefly fish.” Moschery stretched out his long arm, picked up one and handed it to Qin Yun, “Although it looks cute, it has a bad temper.”
Just when Qin Yun was about to ask what was wrong with his temper, he suddenly saw the firefish’s cheeks bulging, and it sprayed a mouthful of water on his face.
“…” Qin Yun gritted his teeth and said, “I wonder how does that fish taste?!”
Moschery couldn’t help but laugh. He spread the bait not far away, attracting more and more firefish to fly over.
Above the deep sea and under the dome, the school of fish was like starlight, warmly surrounding the two.
Moschery squatted in front of Qin Yun. He leaned over and kissed his guide’s lips in the splendour of the fireflies.
Bixi was standing on the terrace of the palace, wrapped in a shawl. She looked into the distance with a solemn look, with a lingering haze between her brows. Black Pearl’s front hooves scratched the ground and snorted a few times beside her irritably.
Lin Dongliang was a little surprised when he saw her, “Madam Bixi?”
Bixi looked at the tired expression of the Secretary of State gently, “Thank you for your hard work. The situation at the Cabinet…”
Lin Dongliang smiled bitterly, “It’s still the same.” He rubbed his brows, “They got the information from somewhere, saying that Her Royal Highness the Queen was a failed clone, which tarnished the bloodline of the god-level guide…”
Bixi frowned; her eyes were slightly cold as she said calmly, “Have they forgotten the origin of His Majesty’s god-level genes, or do they want to use this matter to depose the royal family directly.”
“Maybe both.” Lin Dongliang looked solemnly, “The Cabinet also placed the blame for the defeat of Eta on His Highness the Queen and believed that His Highness should be tried as a war criminal.”
Bixi snorted coldly, “I think it’s not just the Cabinet. We will face more problems after Little Rainbow Dash lifts the consciousness hypnosis.”
Lin Dongliang looked at her.
Bixi said calmly, “Olympus will not sit still and wait for death. Their ambitions are much greater than we imagined.”
Qin Yun was already awake when Moschery received Lin Dongliang’s video call request. He rested his head sleepily on His Majesty’s shoulder and greeted the Secretary of State in the holographic image.
Lin Dongliang smiled and said respectfully, “Your Highness, I’m sorry to disturb your honeymoon.”
Qin Yun waved her hands quickly, “Don’t be so polite, sir… you should just call me Qin Yun.”
Moschery raised his hand and rubbed his guide’s bangs. He looked at Lin Dongliang and said, “What else is the Cabinet doing?”
Lin Dongliang made a helpless expression and glanced at Qin Yun, who immediately stood up knowingly, “I’m going out to brush my teeth and wash my face…”
Moschery did not stop the other party. He raised his head and looked at Qin Yun, stretched out his hand and touched his lips, “Good morning kiss.”
“…” Qin Yun: “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet…”
“What’s with all the nonsense?” Moschery frowned, “All these bullshit rules about kissing.”
Lin Dongliang: “…”
The Secretary of State briefly reported the situation. Moschery’s expression remained indifferent, and in the end, he only said, “I understand.”
Lin Dongliang sighed, “Do you want to come back early?”
Moschery did not answer directly, and he only asked, “Where is Little Bixi?”
Lin Dongliang: “Madam is very good. She rides horses in the back garden every day. I didn’t let anyone from the Cabinet disturb her.”
“Okay.” Moschery’s expression finally softened, “I’ll contact her.”
Bixi was not surprised when she received Moschery’s video call request. She was wearing overalls, her long silver hair tied up, and a sunhat.
“Long time no see, Little Xixi.” Bixi swung her riding whip. She was the only one who dared to give His Majesty the Emperor such a nickname.
Moschery looked at the horses around her. Helu’s only pastime when he was in power was raising horses and riding horses, which coincided with Bixi.
“I hear you’re an excellent rider?” Bixi said suddenly, she winked at Moschery slyly, “It seems that Helu taught you well.”
Moschery was silent. Helu put him on a horse when he was very young. Riding was probably the only thing his weak father left to him.
Bixi looked at him gently, “He will definitely be proud when he sees you now.”
Moschery frowned in confusion, “You and my father…”
“I am the representative of the first class in Averio, and your father awarded me the academy medal.” Bixi’s eyes were full of nostalgia, but her expression was calm, “It turns out that so long has passed.”
Moschery opened his mouth. He always felt that Bixi seemed to be hiding something from him, but he felt that he should not ask in detail. In the end, he could only change the topic and said sincerely, “As for the Cabinet’s slandering Qin Yun, I will solve it properly. Please don’t worry.”
Qin Yun was not in a hurry to go back to the house after washing up. He summoned the unicorn and asked the other party to get comfortable with Zhongyan. The dragon was very excited and followed his spiritual link partner’s butt and kept sniffing it.
“…” Qin Yun: “Don’t be like this… Zhongyan! Come back here!”
Ishtar didn’t seem to mind being followed. The golden ponytail occasionally swayed and brushed Zhongyan’s nose.
The unicorn walked gracefully on the ice, its pure white body like a painting, embedded in the blue sea and sky.
Qin Yun put his palms together to his mouth and said loudly, “Fly fly, look, Ishtar, come! Fly to Daddy!”
Unicorn:”……”
Zhongyan flapped his wings and pounced on him in a dignified manner. Qin Yun was so scared that he wailed and ran away while screaming and laughing. However, he was still pressed to the ground from behind by the giant dragon.
“Hahahahaha!” Qin Yun reached out to block Zhongyan’s head, “Don’t lick, don’t lick! Hahahaha… don’t lick with your mouth!”
“…” Moschery’s military boots appeared above Qin Yun’s head. His Majesty the Emperor looked down at him expressionlessly, “What are you doing?”
Qin Yun looked at him innocently, “Taking care of the children…?”
Moschery: “…” He seemed helpless and squatted down, brushing his fingers on Qin Yun’s face. The latter only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a round pendant appeared on his neck.
“What is this?” Qin Yun took it out with a free hand and found a badge with a Chinese Bellflower pattern engraved on it.
“Every Issa Crown Prince will be given a Chinese Bellflower badge when he is born.” Moschery said lightly, “To give it to his future partner… I should have given it to you earlier, but I never thought I would get married before, so it took me a long time to find it.”
Qin Yun looked at him and smiled, “Do you know the flower language of Chinese Bellflower?”
Moschery didn’t answer. He stared at his guide for a long time, lowered his head and kissed the other person’s lips.
While the Cabinet was busy trying to depose the Queen and was enjoying themselves endlessly, His Majesty the Emperor finally couldn’t help but make a statement first. Moschery’s holographic video was projected over the entire Empire and was simultaneously played on All Universe 818.
Skarter was a little surprised, “When was this recorded?”
Lin Dongliang: “It should be the first day after the wedding.” He shrugged and said helplessly, “Your Majesty only gave it to me these few days, meaning not to let the Cabinet interfere with his honeymoon…”
The Moschery in the holographic image was wearing the uniform of the supreme commander, with a silver mask on half of his face, and his expression was cold and indifferent.
“All citizens of the Empire, thank you for your concern for the royal family and my personal private life.” Moschery paused, his eyes sinking slightly, “At the same time, I am also heartbroken by the negative attitude of the Cabinet from beginning to end.”
Moschery continued, “The plan to travel to the Eta Star was mine to formulate. Qin Yun merely carried it out and suffered almost devastating injuries in the process in order to protect me.” He paused for a while and showed a mocking smile, “I have the right to reclaim all territories that once belonged to the Empire. The so-called war criminals are simply nonsense.”
Shen Zhuofan stared at His Majesty the Emperor in the hologram, raised his eyebrows, and said, “As expected of a tyrant, these words are completely irrefutable.”
Arthur snorted disdainfully, “Now that he has my military power, he can be so tough. He didn’t dare to act cool before.”
Lin Dongliang smiled when he heard this, “But I think that if His Majesty wants to regain the territory, Your Majesty the Duke will not refuse.”
Arthur glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, “The best thing he has done in all these years is to prepare to regain the sovereignty of Olympus.”
The Duke licked his lips arrogantly, “My lions can’t wait any longer.”
Moschery’s speech continued, and Berlin, with a pale face, stared fixedly at the holographic projection without moving a muscle.
“As we all know, the god-level genes of Issa’s royal family have all been passed down to this day only through replication in the scientific community. As for Qin Yun being cloned, I do not acknowledge the claim.” Moschery in the hologram slowly stood up, the scarlet cloak behind him almost dropping to the ground, “This is Olympus’s blasphemy against my wife. For this, they must pay the due price.”
Moschery: “I hereby declare war on the Olympus Alliance. Within one year, I will recover all territories belonging to the Empire and complete the full unification.”
The Cabinet meeting room was brightly lit, and Quinta looked at Berlin with a gloomy face, “He completely overshadowed the crisis we created… We have no control over what happens next.”
Berlin didn’t speak. After a long while, she slowly said in a hoarse voice, “He has become so tough that we can’t control it, whether it’s political power or emotions.”
Quinta remained silent, and he followed Berlin to look at His Majesty the Emperor in the holographic image.
Moschery’s expression remained as calm as ever, “My wife has fought on the front line of the battlefield. He is brave and strong and deserves everyone’s respect.”
“There isn’t any difference of a god-level sentinel and a low-level guide between us.” Moschery finally said, “Because we love each other.”
He paused and smiled slowly, “So we are equal.”
Of course Qin Yun didn’t know that His Majesty the Emperor had shocked the whole universe. He was trying to make the unicorn fly while pretending to be an old hen all day long…
Ishtar had a good temper, but that didn’t mean it’s obedient. The unicorn always radiated a gentle and loving aura as it gazed at its owner with a compassionate(you’re) and(stupid) divine(fvck) look, radiating a gentle and loving aura.
